PANIC IN THE CASINO
An alarm of Fire Startlos the Largest
Audiences Ever Gathered There

NEW YORK, Sept. The largest au-
dtence that ever gathered IN the Casino
was there last night al the five hundTedth
performance Of "Erminie." The boxes,
orchestra, balconies, galleries and even
the space allotted to the cafe were filed
full. Spectators stood twelve deep
in the arcsdes and so dense had the
throng become at s little after ; O'Clock
that Manager Rudolph AronsOn told
Wilmington Hsll to stop selling admission
tickets. Mr.. Wilson as Ravennes, and
Mr.. Smith as CadeauX, had been enthu-
siasticelly sppleuded on their entrance
with Viscomte de BrissoC's wardrobe.
Nj. Wilson had Haunted his mosaic coat
and trousers and made a little speech
thanking the audience for their warm
greeting, and he, with his brother thief,
had sung the first verse OF their duet,
telling what Jail birds they were, when
the pungent smell of smoke, such as comes
from fire engines, began to be perCeptlble
in all parts Of the house. At first it at
tracted but passing attention, but when
it became more pronounced there was an
uneasy shifting of seats, and someone
looking up saw thin blaze floating down
from the succeed dome. The brilliant
rays from the electric chandeliers made
/ the smoke the darker, and as it hoated
downward a sharp cry from the upper
gallery rang out: "Fire! fire" There
was wild plunging noise in the djrec-
ton of the cry, and the people in the
orchestra and boxes oegan to gather up
their wraps and start for the doors. Their
number swelled with each second until
more than half the house was or its feet,
with white faces turned toward the exits
and e panic IN plain sight. Meanwhile Oh
the stairways and the lobby there had
been a Jam of frightened ones Half 2
dozen women tainted CT the first note OF
alarm. Mr.. Aronson had telephoned for
a squad of police, and before the big
audience had time 10 pack the Iobbies and
stairways the police reserve wss on
hand With drawn clubs they rushed &c
the exits at the top CT the stairs an6
effectively stopped the On.rushing anC
panic stricken crowd. Order was sooI
restored. The greater portion Of TIE
audience returned to their seats, and th'
play continued without further interrup
ton. Nobody was seriously hurt.

A TEXANS GOOD TALK.

TOPEKA, I[As., Sept. 5.-Lieutenant
Governor T. B. Wheeler Of Texas is in
the city in consultation with the Rock
Island authorities, endesvoring to effect

Cisco via the Texas and Pacific and Texas
Central to Kansas City, which city, he
gays, is looked upon IS the natural mar
ket for the products Of Teas This pro-
posed line will open up & country rich in
stock and mineral productions.
Abiding to the politicai situation IN
Texas Mr.. Wheeler said ''Prohibition
has received g set back in Texas from
which it will require many years to re-
cover. The people do not want prOhibi-
ton, nor do they need it in Texas.
The most rigid saloon laws are in
operation there as well as local option in
the counties. One of the great causes Of
the recent overwhelming defeat OF the
prohibition amendment in Texas was that
1t WAS un-DemocratiC and deprived the
individual Of his personal liberty and con-
science to q certain extent. We take
pride in the fact that Texas is solid
Democratic state and we shall send 8
united Cleveland delegation to the next
Democratic convention. | am sanguine
that Cleveland will be nominated and
elected. No, DO not believe that Gov
ernor Fill will use his influence in New
York against Cleveland. 1t would avail
him nothing and would spoil any aspira-
tons for presidential honors during the
next four years.
Governor Wheeler and Major Foreman
Of Wichita Falls, who accompanies lin,
will leave for Kansas City tomorrow to
continue their efforts to secure the de-
sired route from Texas to that city.

OPELoUsAs, July 18th, 1887,
To-day was day of great rejoicing for the
Sisters of the Holy Family and their pupils,
for this day was to show the improvement of
the pupils and bestow upon them the rewards
they had so we'll deserved.
Thanks to the kindness of the Social Club,
they were allowed the use of their fine hall.
The platform was beautifully decorated, and
the Social Club allowed them to use their
magnificent piano Nearly every one Of the
pupils participated in the exercises of the
day, in dialogues, recitations and singing, and
all acquitted themselves perfectly of the task
allotted to them. Miss Alice Chevis distin-
guisbed herself particularly in accompanying
the children at the piano.
Although all did well, everybody remarked
little boy scarcely five years old, and lit.
tie girl of about the same age, who delighted
the audience by the very clever manner in
which they recited their small pieces.
The hall was crowded and although the ex-
ercises lasted pretty long, everybody listehed
attentively to the end. 1t must have been
very pleasing to tho good Sisters to witness
the success Of their pupils. Their school was
very numerous and fiourishing during the
year just passed We hope they will continue
to receive the patronage they SO well deserve.
